## Brood Bread Pain

At this year's bitreich meeting in Wageningen, the Netherlands, the
Bitreich band was founded:

	gopher://bitreich.org/1/brood-bread-pain
	gopher://bitreich.org/I/brood-bread-pain/brood-bread-pain.jpg

One example lyric.

## No One Can Take Away

It's a different world
There are no limits
In this hell it is not a heaven
A prison cell

Chorus

They try to destroy their freedom
There are no boundaries
They are not alone
Just for this damnation
In this hell they die like slaves

## No One Can Take Away

No one can take away
All these sins and thoughts
You can't change
You don't know what's real
Just this damnation
No one can take away

Chorus

They try to destroy their freedom
There are no boundaries
They are not alone
Just for this damnation
